Hello everyone and welcome to the myspace site of guitarist Kevin Briggs
London England based Canadian born guitarist Kevin Briggs has established himself as a well-respected musician on the international music scene. There are few modern popular music genres that Kevin has not turned his skilful hands to. He has performed and recorded with many diverse artists from the r&b, soul, funk, rock, blues, new country and pop genres. Kevin has toured extensively throughout Canada, The United States and England as well as Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Portugal, The United Arab Emirates, Oman, Bosnia, Bulgaria, Argentina, Ethiopia, Malta and Japan.
Kevin’s style is an amalgamation of passion and technique. Although Kevin has impressive technique, his ingrained musicality enables him to capture what is best for a song every time with his evocative, soulful and melodic playing.
Kevin’s skills as a guitarist have not gone unrecognised. He has been featured in many music publications. The most noteworthy are: Canadian Musician Magazine (Canada’s largest selling music publication.) and Guitar Player Magazine (This U.S.A. based magazine features the top players on the international guitar scene.) Kevin’s choice of recording software is Cakewalk Sonar and he was chosen to be a featured artist on the Cakewalk myspace page. In the early part of his career Kevin entered a national Canadian guitar competition (Guitar Warz) and placed 2nd out of 1500 entrants nationwide. The finals for this competition were sponsored by and recorded at Much Music in Toronto. (Much Music is Canada’s equivalent to MTV)
In May 2009 Canadian based ABG software released the first in the line of Kevin Briggs Signature Series VST plug - in effects. The first program is the fabulous delay called AfterShock. Check out the link in the blog on this page. Future releases will be updated on this page.
